Why now is a smart time to buy a new home
It’s a question many buyers across the UK are asking right now.
While there are some changes happening in the UK at the moment, the Bank of England kept the base rate the same in June 2026. One other constant is that UK property prices have consistently risen in the long term, further adding to the sense of stability for homebuyers. There’s more good news.
Major lenders have cut rates on both their two-year and five-year fixed mortgages, indicating a downward trend. Plus, a new £5K deposit mortgage was introduced in May 2026. There are some great deals to be had in the current market. More than that, now’s the opportunity to start building value in your new home for the future.
Now is a good time to act for the chance to be moved into your quality new Bloor home quicker, with homes ready to move into now, no onward chain, and expert support from our sales team and independent financial advisors.
